Yet
some of the villains that Union Guard agents will face are not even
among the seven sentient races. Sightings and encounters at the Edge
or beyond known space have shown that the member races in the
Interstellar Union are not alone. A powerful, crystalline alien known
as the Arunox that lives on worlds uninhabitable by the other races
has occasionally encroached upon the territories of others, and their
strange technology and resilient nature have shown them to be
impervious to the cold vacuum of space, making their attacks on
starships with controlled interior environments truly devastating.
Worse, however, is an elusive alien foe that has been kidnapping
people from all races and has—at least twice—sent in small but
extremely powerful probes to test the Union's defensive capabilities.
Though information on these aliens is classified, the secretive
“Immortals” cult actively seeks the aliens and has repeatedly
shown themselves to be extremely dangerous. What other alien threat
lies beyond known space? What powerful foes have simply not deigned
to concern themselves with us yet?
